\t\t\t\tI wired up the motor controller to the vibratory deburrer today.\u00a0 Since I had already bench tested the motor and controller, I had no real concerns other than making sure I was using the right terminals on the controller.\u00a0 I put a tub of ceramic media with some aluminum parts into the unit, and gave it a shot.\u00a0\u00a0 The media swirled around the tub much like it had in the suspended version, which was something I was hoping to eliminate.\u00a0 After realigning the weights to 90 degrees apart, I found that the swirling was eliminated if I ran the motor at about 60% of full speed.\u00a0 I covered the tub and left it run – thankfully the noise is a little less than the suspended version (but just a little).\u00a0 About 45 minutes later, I heard what sounded like a muffled crash, and ran downstairs to see what had happened.\u00a0 The bucket frame was leaning way over, and after powering off the motor controller, I had a look at the damage.<\/p>\n

\"Snapped
Snapped spring - given how tough these were to grind to length, I'm amazed that it broke.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the 4 springs that support the tub frame had snapped from the vibration.\u00a0 As the frame keeled over to one side, the hose that coupled the motor to the weight shaft was twisted and sheared off.<\/p>\n

\"Torn
Torn hose - despite being fiber and wire reinforced, it still gave way. In retrospect, this wasn't a bad thing - easier to replace the hose than the motor, after all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At this point, spending the money for a proper industrial unit is looking more and more attractive.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
